Knicks (8-17) at Celtics (13-10) Game #24 12/6/18

SEMI FOR THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[jpotter33]

How about a timeout before they come all the way back on us?

The knicks have outscored the Celtics this quarter by a single point. One.

You realize how scoring works, right? It's temporally relative, meaning it changes in time. When I posted that it was a two possession game after us being up at one point by like 15. 

That's not a crazy post given that this is a clear and well-known weakness of Brad's...

Yes, I now see how that lead is being evaporated as we type. 

"Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every once in awhile." Just because it didn't hurt us tonight doesn't make it the right decision, as the million other examples of Brad waiting too long to call a timeout have shown us throughout the years.

But, I must say, that Brad apologism sure does look sexy on you, Hwang 

Thank you. I wear it with pride.  . Oh, and is the game fun yet?

Oh, it's fun - much better than most of the first twenty games.

I've only had like three or four negative comments tonight, hwang, and most of them were deserving Rozier criticisms with only one Brad criticism. So cut me some slack - we all can't be Mr. Rogers' level optimists like you!

How anyone can watch this ga,e and claim Jaylen Brown has a low BBIQ is beyond me.

?? What exactly has Brown done tonight to disprove the years of evidence that we have that he has a poor BBIQ??

Just because he's playing well tonight does not change the fact that he has a poor BBIQ. In fact, it kind of proves the opposite - he's playing much better tonight because he's coming off the bench and getting better looks as a more primary offensive option, i.e. he doesn't contribute that much else to the game.

When he's not a more primary option, he's not that good of a ball player, especially offensively, as he doesn't make others around him better due to his limited court vision, poor passing, and an inability to really make plays for others.

I like Brown and hope he continues to play like he is tonight, specifically being more aggressive taking it to the hole. But you keep beating this drum with no reasoning behind it at all.

Brown doesn't have a low BBIQ, This game showed that. He passed when he should have, took it to to the whole and finished when he was supposed to and hit shots when he was supposed to. He did the same thing all last year. He has improve his passing overall, but especially when driving to the basket. He has been an All-NBA defender for most of the last year and a half while taking on the best wing offensive players in the league. Bad BBIQ players don't do that.

I don't think Jaylen was ever a low IQ player. I've never seen it. Everyone makes mistakes but Jaylen seems to think the game very well.

Please accept my sincere apologies if I gave you a hard time. And a tp to you too sir.

Man I hope it's nothing serious with Kyrie.

He sat out the playoffs without injury.  Probably just a hang nail and/or a branding thing--pitchers are pretty cool fresh off the Sox win.

It didn’t look that serious but the great thing about our depth is that even if kyrie misses a few I feel comfortable that we have more than enough depth to cover him. The player we can probably afford to lose the least is Al given Baynes is also injured.

easy peazy! Tough to stop us when shooting like that.

i think rozier is the only one with zero BBIQ on team
